TreborLocke's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hope in us Special Version]

Wonderful my friend

Thank you for the treat :)

Semaphore responds:

Thank you for this review =)

[Ocean Blue [Anya]]

Pretty good :)

Pretty good my friend. I'm really enjoying your Anya series. I feel that the the conga's/higher pitched drums could be a little 'deeper'. Perhaps raising the EQ of the lower frequencies could help with this? I don't think it'd detract too much from the piece.

Anyway, hope all is well. Gotta get back to posting the occassional thing to NG myself just for old times sake :)

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

yeah, this is an early work made a good long time ago, before I was much more aware of technical aspects like I am now.

I think the .flp of the project is lost, so i might have to leave as is.

And I just have been busy as all heck with school, so that leaves little time for music. Thanks for leaving a nice word!

[Stay Courageous *C-Star*]

This is starting to sound the same.

After listening to more of your pieces, they all sound the same. 'Bombastic' and 'top heavy' come to mind. This will be the last comment I have.

Bear in mind that when you post your music on newgrounds, you hand over every single exclusive right you have for ALL of your music so long as they don't use it commercially. Your disclaimer wont break the agreement at all as that is what the site operates under.

On to the music, again, another serviceable piece. Just try to get a better instrument sampling.

CreamingStar responds:

No love baby! I'm sorry man, but if your comments aren't constructive, I can't really get much out of them. "Serviceable" and "bombastic" aren't exactly specific, and they aren't as much critiques as they are opinions.

Just so you know though, the reason I write "bombastic" music, is because this profile is an advertisement to those seeking music for their flash works. I want to give them something to be excited about after they've spent tons of hours working on their game or movie.

PS the instrument sampling is about the best you can get, and I can't really afford to get a different one. It's the application by me that isn't imperfect!

[Organ Grinder [EC]]

This is pretty good

I really enjoy the blending of sound you have for this piece. I am curious...How long ago did you write this? It sounds as if its coming from a large hall and I can't tell if it was intentional or not.

i do happen to enjoy your pieces and thoughts of music. Good to see another one of your pieces on the AP :)

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

I wrote this around November, jeez (longer than I thought).

The hall sound is me messing around with filters, and finding that I liked how it went, decided to stick with it.

I've been on a real hiatus, but I think I am beginning to get back to the swing of things, and that means not only uploading, but reviewing again. I am almost done with the school year, after all. : )

[Technisscal]

Concept is nice

You're concept is fine but, what makes techno....well..techno...is technologically developed/modified instruments. Organic instruments have a VERY difficult time doing what 'techno' traditionally does.

username0hi0 responds:

Of course that's true, but my task in music class is to create something out of the ordinary, thus this was created. But that can't be the only reason this piece deserved a 5/10 from you?

I have a question, what kind of programs can I use to create original electronic music? I've heard of programs such as 'acid' but all you do on that is plonk extracts of tunes and beats that arent your own into the timeline.

Thanks.

[Destroy the Moon]

Too loud

You have technique but, this recording is so loud it distorts my speakers at any volume.

Throughdarkness responds:

You know what you need? More brutal speakers!

Thanks for the review though.

[Echoes from the Stars]

Very nice

What are you using to obtain your sounds?

atmos929NG responds:

Several synths to tell the truth, it's pretty crowded in there XD... if you pay attention you may identify around 10 different synths between pads, drones, leads etc...

[Trancemagic]

You might want to consider a few things.

A few things. You seem to know your trance 'sounds' quite well however, I highly suggest you take a music theory class before you continue writing pieces. It takes a lot of practice and A LOT of musical training. I myself am a professional musician but, it's taken me 14 years to get to that point. Start with an instrument and learn how to play it before you put in chords to FL Studio (a mediocre production software).

Trancesorcerer responds:

Well this is my very first song and it is quite boring i hear ya.I dont think it deservs a 0,more of a 5.But,its your opnion.I will get better though.

["Heated Battle"]

EQ Problems

The EQ of this music is very poor quality. Your bass has no bass tones. I suggest you look carefully at how to properly mix. While your theory is correct, I do hope this sound is not put into any video game as it currently stands.

0/10
0/5

OmegaManZX responds:

Although I strongly disagree with this opinion, I'll keep this in mind and figure out a way to make it sound better.

[House of wonders]

The melody

Your melody is far too disjunct and the melody at around 00:54 sounds like its off tempo. It is very hard for the ear to follow along with the harmony you have written. Keep in mind FL Studio, while it can assist in making music, does not train your ear for you. Listen to LOTS of music the next time you decide to work on a project.

4/10
2/5

lackofintelligence responds:

wow.. well.. thanx for the review..
